We Are Best Friends: Animals in Society
Friendships between humans and non-human animals were once dismissed as sentimental anthropomorphism. After decades of research on the emotional and cognitive capacities of animals, we now recognize human–animal friendships as true reciprocal relationships. Friendships with animals have many of the same characteristics as friendships between humans. Both parties enjoy the shared presence that friendship entails along with the pleasures that come with knowing another being. Both friends develop ways of communicating apart from, or in addition to, spoken language.
Authoritarian Absorption
Authoritarian Absorption unveils the transformation of China's pandemic response system from 1978 to 2018 through its battle against HIV/AIDS. Chinese bureaucrats, facing pressure from foreign agencies--especially those of the US and UK--and grassroots social movements, developed ways to turn epidemics into opportunities for enhancing domestic control and international stature. Drawing on longitudinal-ethnographic research, Yan Long reveals how Western liberal interventions can simultaneously bolster public health institutions and reinforce authoritarian power, a development pivotal to China's subsequent handling of COVID-19 and instrumental in advancing the rights of groups like gay men.

It is for health care professionals, in practice and in training, involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a wide variety of acute and chronic pain problems.

Sleep and Pain
Many in the research and clinical communities are becoming increasingly aware of the interactions between sleep disorders and chronic pain syndromes. There are a number of obstacles on the path to better patient care, and there is considerable room for improvement in the way knowledge is shared between professionals in the sleep and pain communities. This book serves as the first step toward enhancing communication between the sleep and pain communities with the intent of improving patient care.
Landmark Papers in Pain
Pain Medicine, a relatively new specialty, has proven increasingly relevant to medical practitioners in every field. The specialism of pain has emerged over the past 50 years, largely due to the persistence of experts and new medical evidence that points to its necessity. Today, it is a distinct and integral part of global medical practice. Landmark Papers in Pain offers a comprehensive inventory of over 80 key studies in pain medicine from the last 100 years. Each paper is accompanied by a concise commentary on the significance of the original findings written by an expert in pain. The reviews discuss how the paper influenced the development of the speciality, and how the findings have adva...

The Fibromyalgia Controversy

Professeur Le
Au commencement était le roman de Charlotte Brontë, The Professor. Se peut-il que, dans un livre si ancien, nous puissions déchiffrer le sens et la fonction de la pratique enseignante contemporaine? Croisement des destins, au-delà du temps et des morts. Là résident le mystère et la force d'évocation de la littéra-ture, son caractère prémonitoire, son pouvoir d'actualité. Au terme d'une carrière « enchanteresse» et grâce à une relecture d'une œuvre de Charlotte Brontë, le professeur à la retraite Réal La Rochelle renouvelle sa passion des livres et de l'enseignement. En se remémorant les lieux, l'enthousiasme de la jeunesse, le bouillonnement de la vie intellectuelle, l'auteur reconnaît sa chance. À la fin, dans une sorte de mémorial, il exprime sa gratitude en recopiant les noms de tous ses étudiants.
